• The major issue with all parallel-drive systems is orthogonal alignment. • The dynamic motion generated by any two identical linear-shaft motors is the same ...

Encoders are the most widely used feedback devices for electric motor control, capable of delivering precise position and speed feedback for closed-loop performance. With numerous technology options ...

Renishaw’s Slovenian motion sensing associate, RLS, has developed a novel absolute linear encoder technology with an accuracy of ±5µm and capable of delivering full closed-loop control. The heavy-duty ...

Linear motors are synchronous motors: Current is applied to the coil to form an electromagnet. The coil then synchronizes itself to the magnetic field generated by the permanent magnets in the magnet ...

Munich, Germany – Austriamicrosystems expanded its magnetic sensor product portfolio to include the AS5304 and AS5306, two high performance linear Hall sensor ICs. They feature a new line of magnetic ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel linear direct-digital converter for sinusoidal encoders (LDCS) to measure the angular position of a rotating shaft. The outputs of a sinusoidal encoder vary as ...

The Japanese precision motor manufacturer Nippon Pulse has collaborated with the German encoder-maker Siko to produce what they claim is the first linear motor to incorporate a non-analogue magnetic ...

iC-PVL can be configured for linear applications as a pure period counter. In rotary applications, the FlexCount circuitry enables 1 to 256 magnetic pole pairs to be interpreted as one mechanical ...

If you have a motor and you’d like to know where the shaft position is, you are likely to turn to an optical encoder scheme. However, as [lingib] points out, you can also use a magnet and a ...

Van Nuys, Calif. - The Compact SDLM-051-070-01-01 Direct Drive Linear Actuator with integrated position and temperature sensors is the latest addition to the patented series of zero backlash, zero ...
